Being Rotund and Round! (here)
the 10 of 12 given words:
matter, bliss choice side chest
final margin lone wide, counted
lost as a matter of thickening bliss so blessed
softening of the choices accorded by chance
wretched on the belly side thumping the chest
overtaken by the desire to be slim for once
such loss of desire of a disheartened soul
stemmed by the final effects of memory loss
fatal to a harmonious will of being bold
when the age-old act of dieting is enforced
how else the margin of error may be overcome
as seen by those left unashamedly in old folks homes
sadly the case as experienced by the elderly ones'
when minders unwittingly left them on their own
taking care of the body mass and all of its sensitivities
is not a lone effort as widely believed by those able
care counted as a commitment and a responsibility
to proudly uphold the expected act of being noble

Hank, care-giving is one of the most noble efforts one can undertake in this life. Taking care of our bodies ... of others' bodies when they are in need of assistance .. yes.
ReplyDeleteWe have to take care of our bodies dispite what is happening in the world, also to help those who find it difficult.
ReplyDeleteLoved the verse Hank another thought provoking read.
Take care.
Yvonne.
Your 'the desire to be slim for once' raised a rueful smile. I'm well acquainted with that one!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am struck by a truth not often pointed out:
'taking care of the body mass and all of its sensitivities
is not a lone effort as widely believed by those able'
You need a support system for that. If only more people took care of themselves...
ReplyDeleteI love this. Together we are all one collective body, supported by the other's breath and the good bones they have left.
ReplyDeleteBody care to the right size and right mass gives one confidence. Nice lines.
ReplyDeleteLike the saying that suggests that it takes a village to raise a child, the same is you true when it comes to taking care of our elderly. So much suffering could be avoided if everyone remembered that.
ReplyDeleteYou are good at using your words listed. I was on a wavelength with Magaly in the Taking of a Village bit.
ReplyDeleteFYI, we have not bought one new car in our 48 year marriage. But I do know the smell.
..
Sadly there comes a time when group effort is the needed care. Blessed are those whi have it
